Good game, but one suggestion: Add a 3rd column with the current capital once you get an answer right

Florence was actually the capital from 1864, I believe.

And Nanjing was the capital of China from the 20s (although occupied by Japan from 1937 to 1945)

This is actually naming the countries by former capital, not naming the former capitals.
